Mumbai:
Actor Kangana Ranaut, in a harsh takedown of Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut, has reminded him that “it is not Maharashtra” and that he has no right to demand an apology. “Sanjay-ji, I condemn you, you are not Maharashtra,” he said in a video statement he tweeted tonight, which ended with a dramatic challenge.
Calling her “anti-women” mentality, she questioned why her abusive comment, made during a television interview yesterday, was directed only at her and not at actors Aamir Khan or Naseeruddin Shah, who also said at one point that they were afraid. of living in Mumbai.
His comments about the Mumbai police, which had started the dispute with the ruler Shiv Sena, was “freedom of speech,” the actor said.

When asked that he would apologize for the comment, Sanjay Raut told reporters today that he would “think about it” if “that girl” apologizes to Maharashtra.
“If that girl (Kangana Ranaut) apologizes to Maharashtra, I’ll think about it (apologizing). She calls Mumbai a mini Pakistan. Does she have the courage to say the same about Ahmedabad?” he was quoted by the ANI news agency.
Ms Ranaut, a staunch supporter of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had harshly criticized the Mumbai police for their handling of the Sushant Singh Rajput case. She also said that given the law and order situation under the current government, she was afraid of living in Mumbai.
Ruler Shiv Sena, who just lost the battle to keep the investigation in the hands of the state police and had to hand it over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, had responded harshly.
“We kindly ask you not to come to Mumbai. This is nothing more than an insult to the Mumbai police. The Home Office should take action on this,” Raut had said.
Claiming that the Rajya Sabha deputy had threatened her, Ms. Ranaut scoffed. “Why does Mumbai feel like Pakistani-occupied Kashmir?” A tweet that angered the Seine.
Sena MLA Pratap Saranik had said that the actor should be arrested for sedition and that “if she comes here, our brave women will not leave without slapping her.”
Today, drawing attention to crimes against women across the country, Ms. Ranaut said: “You (Sanjay Raut) have empowered people who commit crimes against women. The daughters of this country will never forgive you.”
The actress, who is currently in Himachal Pradesh, also reiterated her intention to return to Mumbai on September 9 and issued a challenge. “Your people are saying that they will break my jaw, kill me, then do it. The soil of this country is rich in the blood of many who sacrificed themselves for the pride and dignity of the country. We will also give our blood, we also have to Pay our debts, “he added.
